Re: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

[[[kgh]]]

Oops, all your mails went directly to the spam folder. Sorry for the
belated reply and thank you for your suggestions and feedback.

I should definitively give it a shot again and in case of failure
together with error logging. :) Fresh wikis are painless so I guess that
I know how to set up a working handler.

I remember a 1.23 giving me pain with no thumbs rendered but this one
was the source of a foreign file repo. So this may have been the reason.
Moreover I remember other issues with file handling in that branch. Also
there was a 1.27 with no thumbs rendered for the files uploaded before
the switch but working for files uploaded after the switch. That's
basically why I got the idea that existing thumbs will probably have to
be cleared. That wiki is now on 1.29 and working cool though.

Cheers Karsten

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

[Brian Wolff]

It should be fine to switch over an existing wiki, and ive done it before.
I think its more likely something else was wrong, some config missing (if
you had custom wgLocalFileRepos the config changes. If you have custom
wgForeignFileRepos things may get more complicated. Older versions of
mediawiki had an issue with wgUseInstantCommons being incompatible with 404
rendering, but that should be fixed now) or some weird incompatibility with
something else.

I know you wouldnt have them anymore, but mediawiki can be configured to
generate logs that can be used to debug this sort of thing, and going
directly to the thumb file in 404 rendering mode can also give helpful
error messages.

 Hi,

 MediaWiki will by default only create image thumbs for needed sizes at
 time the size is used on a page. So for example when you add an image
 to a page, MW will create the thumbnail sizes needed to display an
 article. However, if the image is uploaded but never added to a normal
 page, then thumbnails for the image won't be generated (except for
 those needed on image description page, which are different sizes)

 There is a second mode mediawiki can operate in, where images are
 rendered on demand when someone views the image (so-called "404 thumb
 handling"). Wikimedia wikis use this mode. In this mode, thumbs are
 created on first view. Additionally in this mode, $wgImageLimits
 creates additional links on the image description page. This mode is
 generally more efficient (especially on page saves), and also more
 reliable in the event that there is a missing thumb.

I haven't tried it, but would think that you can switch to using  a 404
handler.  However, the documentation says that you should also set
$wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse to false. [1]

Wouldn't deleting the thumb subfolder regenerate them on an as needed basis?

 Hi,

 MediaWiki will by default only create image thumbs for needed sizes at
 time the size is used on a page. So for example when you add an image
 to a page, MW will create the thumbnail sizes needed to display an
 article. However, if the image is uploaded but never added to a normal
 page, then thumbnails for the image won't be generated (except for
 those needed on image description page, which are different sizes)

 There is a second mode mediawiki can operate in, where images are
 rendered on demand when someone views the image (so-called "404 thumb
 handling"). Wikimedia wikis use this mode. In this mode, thumbs are
 created on first view. Additionally in this mode, $wgImageLimits
 creates additional links on the image description page. This mode is
 generally more efficient (especially on page saves), and also more
 reliable in the event that there is a missing thumb.

 For information to set up 404-thumb rendering see

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

[[[kgh]]]

Building up on this information:

I have once tried to switch from "regular thumb handling" to "404 thumb
handling" on an existing wiki and found that this does not work since as
a result no thumbs were rendered at all. Starting with "404 thumb
handling" on a fresh wiki however works fine. I have not dug into this
more but may it be that all existing thumbs have to be deleted to clear
the way for the new handling mode when switching the mode on wiki
already in use?

 What I did after reading through several help pages is this:

 $wgThumbLimits = array( 80, 250, 390 );
 $wgDefaultUserOptions['thumbsize'] = 1; // thumb size 250

 $wgImageLimits = array( array( 80, 90 ), array( 800, 600 ), array(

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

[Krabina Bernhard]

Dear all,

thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

An additional question regarding thumbnailing: do thumbs ever get deleted by 
MediaWiki?
They probably get deleted once the image gets deleted. But other than that, do 
all generated thumbnails exist as long as the image exists?

cheers,
Bernhard

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

[Robert Vogel]

Hi Bernhard,


I believe bawolff's explanations to use the "thumb.php" (plus the 404 handler) 
as an entrypoint is probably the best approach. If you still need for some 
reason those files to be always available on the disk, it should be easy to 
write a maintenance script that runs over all the files in your repo and 
creates the desired thumb sizes. It can be done with MediaWiki framework 
functions (`wfFindFile($title)->createThumb( $width, $height )`). This could 
also be done within the "UploadComplete" [1] hook.

Betreff: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

Dear MediaWiki experts,

I cannot really figure out the behaviour of MediaWiki regarding thumbnailing. 
What I want to achieve is that my MediaWiki installation produces thumbnails in 
a specified size.

What I did after reading through several help pages is this:
---
# Images und Thumbnails
$wgThumbLimits = array( 80, 250, 390 );
$wgDefaultUserOptions['thumbsize'] = 1; // thumb size 250

$wgImageLimits = array( array( 80, 90 ), array( 800, 600 ), array( 1280, 1024 ) 
);
$wgDefaultUserOptions['imagesize'] = 2; // image size 800, 600
---

In my opinion this should guarantee that for every image uploaded, there is an 
80, 250 and 390px sized thumbnail. In many cases this is true, but there are 
some cases were I can find a 100px thumbnail, but no 80px thumbnail.

If I understand it correctly, this can perfectly be the case if any user sets 
his/her preference to 100px. I don't mind so much extra sizes to be produced, 
but I want to make sure that a 80px thumbnail is there.

Maybe in the cases where it is not present the images were uploaded before the 
above mentioned setting was made? But how can I get the wiki to redo thumbnails 
in my desired size?

cheers,
Bernhard

I should probably add to this, i believe (its been a while since i looked
at the code and i didnt double check), that in default generate thumbs on
parse mode, mediawiki will only generate the thumbs required at parse time
given the user options set for that parse. So if you are using an image
with default thumb size in a page, and there is a thumb size preference
that nobody uses, then that thumb size will never be generated.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Image thumbnailing in MediaWiki

[Brian Wolff]

Hi,

MediaWiki will by default only create image thumbs for needed sizes at
time the size is used on a page. So for example when you add an image
to a page, MW will create the thumbnail sizes needed to display an
article. However, if the image is uploaded but never added to a normal
page, then thumbnails for the image won't be generated (except for
those needed on image description page, which are different sizes)

There is a second mode mediawiki can operate in, where images are
rendered on demand when someone views the image (so-called "404 thumb
handling"). Wikimedia wikis use this mode. In this mode, thumbs are
created on first view. Additionally in this mode, $wgImageLimits
creates additional links on the image description page. This mode is
generally more efficient (especially on page saves), and also more
reliable in the event that there is a missing thumb.

For information to set up 404-thumb rendering see
